Bomber on 5/5//2008. Ruby brown pour with a foamy medium head settling to a thin ring in a few minutes. Fruity aroma of raisins and plums over a backdrop of caramel and spice. Medium/full body with very lively effervescence, leaving the palate fairly clean. Maltiness dominates the flavor, providing a sweet backbone, but substantial spicy bitterness comes on quickly for a welcome, if surprising, dry finish.

Jul 15, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a ruby red, with a pillowy head. The aroma is of pure sweetness and fruits. It has a full mouthfeel, a well balanced flavor profile of fruits, caramel and some spice, and has a clean dry finish. Another quality ale from Ommegang.

Jul 15, 2008 Very nice appearance deep caramel red color nice tan head very good retention. Strong alchohol presence rich fruity tones good caramel and toffee aroma, some hints of chocolate malt in the roastiness. Fruity finish definitely dates, figs maybe some plum did not pick up the anise that others seem to have. Very nice belgian style Ommegang is good at what they do for sure. Making a trip to central NY this fall plan to take a tour. If you like Belgians you’ll appreciate this one.
